DS1776
PI-Bus Transceiver
driver is designed to sink 100 mA from 2V and features a
controlled linear ramp to minimize crosstalk and ringing on
the bus.
General Description
The DS1776 is an octal PI-bus Transceiver. The A to B path
is latched. B outputs are open collector with series Schottky
diode, ensuring minimum B output loading. B outputs also
have ramped rise and fall times (2.5 ns typical), ensuring
minimum PI-bus ringing. B inputs have glitch rejection cir-
cuitry, 4 ns typical.
A separate high level control voltage (VX) is provided to pre-
vent the A side output high level from exceeding future high
density processor supply voltage levels. For 5V systems, VX
is tied to VCC
.
Designed using National’s Bi-CMOS process for both low
operating and disabled power. AC performance is optimized
for the PI-Bus inter-operability requirements.

The DS1776 is an octal latched transceiver and is intended
to provide the electrical interface to a high performance
wired-or bus. This bus has a loaded characteristic imped-
ance range of 20Ω to 50Ω and is terminated on each end
with a 30Ω to 40Ω resistor.
